Accordingly, various architectures for the realization of Digital Twin use cases are conceptualized. There lacks, however, a clear, encompassing architecture covering necessary components of a Digital Twin to realize various use cases in an intelligent automation system.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>In this contribution, the added value of a Digital Twin in an intelligent automation system is highlighted and various existing definitions and architectures of the Digital Twin are discussed. Flowingly, an architecture for a Digital Twin and an architecture for an Intelligent Digital Twin and their required components are proposed, with which use cases such as plug and produce, self-x and predictive maintenance are enabled.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>In the opinion of the authors, a Digital Twin requires three main characteristics: synchronization with the real asset, active data acquisition from the real environment and the ability of simulation. In addition to all the characteristics of a Digital Twin, an Intelligent Digital Twin must also include the characteristics of Artificial Intelligence. The Intelligent Digital Twin can be used for the realization of the autonomous Cyber-Physical Production Systems.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>In order to realize the proposed architecture for a Digital Twin, several methods, namely the Anchor-Point-Method, a method for heterogeneous data acquisition and data integration as well as an agent-based method for the development of a co-simulation between Digital Twins were implemented and evaluated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/auto-2019-0039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,2]],"date-time":"2019-10-02T09:02:31Z","timestamp":1570006951000},"page":"762-782","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":248,"title":["An architecture of an Intelligent Digital Twin in a Cyber-Physical Production System"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Behrang","family":"Ashtari Talkhestani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering , University of Stuttgart , Pfaffenwaldring 47 , Stuttgart , Germany"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering , University of Stuttgart , Pfaffenwaldring 47 , Stuttgart , Germany"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Lindemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering , University of Stuttgart , Pfaffenwaldring 47 , Stuttgart , Germany"}]},{"given":"Nada","family":"Sahlab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering , University of Stuttgart , Pfaffenwaldring 47 , Stuttgart , Germany"}]},{"given":"Nasser","family":"Jazdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering , University of Stuttgart , Pfaffenwaldring 47 , Stuttgart , Germany"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Schloegl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Siemens AG , Digital Factory Division, Product Lifecycle Management, Digital Engineering Automation Designer , Gleiwitzerstra\u00dfe 555 , Nuremberg , Germany"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Weyrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering , University of Stuttgart , Pfaffenwaldring 47 , Stuttgart , Germany"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023041808414255451_j_auto-2019-0039_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"L.
